Holston The Eastern Hellbender

Holston is an eastern hellbender, the largest salamander in North America! Hellbenders like Holston need fast-flowing and well-oxygenated water to survive, but pesticides and erosion from agriculture and urban development can pollute his aquatic home. By adopting Holston, you’re helping Defenders of Wildlife bring science, education, community outreach and on-the-ground habitat restoration together to advance hellbender population recovery.
